Watch the moment an X-rated scene is played out during a live broadcast of the BBC News at Ten

As Sophie read out the latest sports news about England's cricket victory in the fourth and final test match against South Africa, eagle eyed news watchers spotted an explicit scene playing out on a computer screen in the background.

While the news anchor, who was completely unaware of what was happening behind her, continued with the broadcast, the woman on the computer screen was seen stripping off and exposing her breasts in the scene.

Despite the clip being on screen for a matter of seconds, viewers were quick to notice and took to Twitter to share their thoughts on what they had just seen.

"Did I just see boobs on News at Ten?," asked one bemused Twitter user during the evening broadcast.
